ASSOCIATIONINSIGHT Portable Sanitation Association International News BIWEEKLY EDITION DECEMBER 23, 2020 Page 12 Portable Sanitation Professionals Reflect on the Best Industry Around One way to be eligible for a prize drawing at the November 2020 Virtual Conference and Trade Show was to tell us what you like best about working in the portable sanitation industry. While there was plenty in 2020 not to love, it's clear our colleagues appreciate what we all do together. As we head into the new year, let's remember how lucky we are to be in this together. We don't have room to publish all the great responses, but here is a sample. Basically...it's good, hard, honest work...and the people in the industry are great. John Welch, Honey Bucket Providing an outstanding service in our industry to our market. Chellene Lane, Best Enterprises The people! I met some of my greatest friends in life through the portable sanitation industry. Chris McCarthy, Mr. John of Pittsburgh All the people are amazing! I am new to this industry and it's incredible how passionate and welcoming everyone has been. Thank you everyone! Shad Gordon, Biffs Inc. It's crazy and funny and weird. We've been on job sites and seen amazing things being made and built. We've been a part of major special events in the city. We also get to be a part of people's lives in the day to day as they visit parks, parties, etc. It's completely unique and different every day. Stefania Demczak, Approved Toilet Rentals Working at the ground floor with some incredible construction companies who are shaping the landscape of our communities. On the event side, it's a thrill to support creative productions (large scale) or the best day of someone's life (weddings-small scale). Kelly Luf, A Royal Flush It's the people, from the people we work with on a daily basis in our own community, to those we have met through our involvement in the PSAI and attendance at conferences and conventions. Joe Payne, Terry's Pumpin' and Potties The best thing about working in portable sanitation is knowing that my job helps keep people safe. Safety is so paramount in this current situation and we are a huge part of keeping people safe and providing peace of mind. Jenn Farmer, On Site Companies Having the ability to work with so many different customers and building new relationships. Cara Cummings, Approved Toilet Rental The best thing about working in portable sanitation is being able to be a part of events, weddings, back yard get togethers, etc. We provide a basic need to ensure that these important functions are safe and sanitary. Shandi Somero, Scotty's Potties Meeting new people and being a small part of their celebrations or projects. Lisa Baker, Vann Go Luxury Trailers The people in our industry. Hardworking people that are willing to help out other operators. Scott Thone, FusionSite Services I have met some great people in the industry, and it has also made me appreciate portables a lot more than I used to. John Saenz, Southpoint Rentals I have never worked in an industry with nicer people. Keith Spencer, Porta Pros This industry is made up of the best people. It must be something about our chosen profession, but the people are really good folks. Ron Inman, Honey Bucket The people we are able to reach on a daily basis to help them with their business needs. Michael Perez, A Clean Portoco Here at the PSAI, we are thankful for each and every one of our members, their companies, and the families that support them. Have a terrific holiday everyone! v
